Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode, I answer some of your questions about your child's eating at Easter including;

• Can I hold off introducing chocolate to my 3 year old?
• Is it a preoccupation if my child compares their chocolate stash to thier siblings?
• Can we call chocolate 'sometimes food'?
• How do I navigate Easter with family members who use unhelpful language about 'working off' chocolate?
• Can I delay offering chocolate at Easter without them feeling different to the other kids who are allowed it?
• What do we call chocolate if it's not 'naughty'?
• What do I say when my child asks why they can eat an apple everyday but not chocolate cake everyday?
• Aren't we saying chocolate is different to other food when we implement boundaries on it, but not to other food?
• Should I be introducing chocolate to my 18 month old?

Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode, I'm joined by Angelica Pupillo, a clinical nutritionist and founder of This Is Your Body who provides evidence based advice to school students to help improve their relationship with food and their body.

Angelica chats with us about;

• Travelling around Australia to speak to students about nutrition and body image, through her program Body Bop.
• What presenting and sharing her story to kids looks like.
• How she connects with the students through storytelling.
• How she is supporting students in their body image struggles in workshops
• What parents can do to guide their child toward a positive body image and food relationship.
• Her own journey through disordered eating and poor body image that led her to her current role.

You can reach Angelica through her website: www.thisisyourbody.com.au
